Indian music has considerably evolved in part thanks to the incredible efforts of Salim and Sulaiman. The brothers fuse traditional hindi melodies with newer styles of music using instruments that span the globe. Their familiarity with music began at a very young age as the brothers’ father was a popular composer in India. Salim later mastered the piano at Trinity College of Music in London while Sulaiman took up tabla training with such legends as Taufiq Qureshi and Ustad Zakir Hussain.

They have been especially praised for their more recent acoustic compositions including Coke Studio MTV Season 3 and MTV Unplugged Season 4 that can be seen online.
